"... Alright, I understand. May I know who you are inviting as guess minister." Evangelist Victor inquired.
[In Evangelist Victor's ministry, there was a fellowship of single sisters. It was a revival meeting held monthly. In each meeting, a guest minister was invited to minister and bring revival among the single sisters].
"Sister Esther is gracing the program papa and everyone is super excited to have her minister to us. " She responded and Evangelist Victor went cold.
"Is it alright like that papa?' She asked worriedly.
"En, yes! But why Esther this time around? I was earlier informed that you will be having a guest minister from South Sudan. Is she not coming again?" Evangelist Victor asked.
"We are sorry Papa. Our guest minister from South Sudan later discovered there was an issue with her passport and it would require not less than three weeks to have it fixed.
For this reason we prayed and our hearts went for Esther." She answered.
"It's well understood but let me get it rightly. Are you referring to the Esther of Apostle Aondofa Daniel's ministry or there is another?"
"No Papa! It's Esther of Apostle Aondofa Daniel's ministry." She answered.
"It won't be Esther sister Vielen. I don't want to have anything to do with Apostle Aondofa Daniel's ministry anymore." Evangelist Victor said and moved for her car meanwhile Vielen, the program coordinator moved away sadly wondering how she was going to make booking for another guest minister - that would make it the third.
That night, as Vielen went home and prayed fervently asking the Lord for direction since the time was fast approaching, she fell asleep and saw Esther ministering powerfully in the program. A lot of lives were set on fire and revived for use by the Lord.
Intriguing of all was the fact that she saw her in the revelation as evangelist Victor's wife to whom they addressed as mama.
When she was done ministering, the entire sisters congregants rushed after her for individual blessings.
Vielen who was attending to somethings left to go and ease her movement as the crowd had blocked all access.
"Mama over here, let me help you out." She demanded and Esther who was gorgeously dressed gave out her handbag and she escorted her with other security personnel to her car.
"Mama there is something that I wish to share with you if you can spare me a little time." Esther pleaded.
"That would have been fine but your papa (she said referring to evangelist evangelist Victor) is waiting for me at home. I have to be home timely so I can attend to his needs. Call me in an hour interval and we will talk on phone. Tomorrow, I will be in the office, we will still have time to talk if it is something that can wait." Esther said in the vision smiling and she woke up with a powerful beaming smile on her face.
The following morning, she was eager to be in church to see evangelist Victor who had a perpetual habit of turning up for office early.
She arrived office at 9am and was glad to see the Lord's evangelist in as she could confirm from his car packed at the usual spot.
She went in happily and greeted her man of God smiling.
"Vielen my daughter, you are around early today. Hope all is well? At least I can tell with the smile on your face." He said smiling too.
"Papa there is something that I saw yesterday's night that I can't wait to let you know of. I am excited about it. It is a revelation." She said cautioning her over-excitement.
"A revelation? Please tell me about it." Evangelist Victor said adjusting in his chair.
"Papa, the revelation is about Esther." Vielen said pausing to watch his reaction.
"Esther again?
Vielen is like there is something about you and Esther.
You see, ministerial ethics demands that I do not steal away anybody's flock. This is why I am being so careful with the mention of Esther around me.
I don't want Apostle Aondofa Daniel to feel I am stealing away his members most especially doing so without his permission." Evangelist Victor lectured.
"Okay Papa. Since you don't want to hear of it, I won't go further sir. But I pray the Lord reveals to you that which I saw if truly it came from him." Vielen said coldly as if her fire had been quenched.
"Vielen, alright, talk to me about it. I am listening." He pleaded.
"No papa, I think it's not right to talk to you about it again. The desire is not there again." She said sadly and asked for permission to excuse his presence.
Evangelist Victor knew that he had hurt her, but he had the culture of having strick discipline of not pleading for much pardon with ladies in the closet.
Well, since she bent on not voicing it out, he assumed it wasn't that important anyway.
But Vielen knew what she saw. Her prayer was for the Lord to reveal same to his evangelist.
Two days later, he slept and had a vision where an angel of the Lord appeared to him on the bank of a revival.
The angel handed him a slip containing five prayer points; prayer for enlargement in his ministry, Prayer for life partner which was taken so long to be answered, prayer for finance for the much work at hand, and the others which I could not see.
"Ah, ministering spirit, this is my prayer list. Has the Lord despised my prayers that you are returning them onto me?" He inquired curiously.
"Victor! The answers to all your prayer points on the list are in the provision, that which the Lord has made.
Do not be deaf Victor. Listen to Vielen, for she the step, that which she is taking is ordered by the Lord.
The Lord has provided you with Esther, the bone of thy bone and the flesh of thy flesh.
She will bring about the fulfilment of all that is written concerning you." The angel of the Lord said and before evangelist Victor could open his mouth, he was out of sight.
When he woke up, he felt like he was standing in the middle of an ocean. For he was at peace for that which the angel had said to him, but a dozen questions surfaced on his heart.
He had not for once imagined anything relationship or marriage with Esther although he had wished Apostle Aondofa Daniel had married her.
Now that the Lord was instructing him in the regard, what was he going to do?
He fell on his feet and prayed asking God for more clarity if the revelation was coming from him and that God should confirm it from Esther and make it happen divinely.
Later in the day, he phoned Vielen and told her that Esther could be invited as guest speaker for the meeting.
